Open source vendors should focus on value and price
,----[ Quote ]
| To reach CIOs hearts and wallets, open source vendors
| should rethink their messaging to move beyond just cost
| to talk about the "more" that they are providing for
| "less." Note that "more" can actually be less, as in
| less complex. For instance, MySQL clearly provides a
| "lower cost for higher value," in terms of less complex
| and fewer administrators required than Oracle DB for
| certain use cases. This is why Oracle continues to value
| MySQL as part of the pending Sun acquisition.

Obama and McCain prove critical open source argument true
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the most repeated examples cited to promote open source philosophy is
| that of an electronic voting system. If this process is not understood or
| transparent then its results cannot be trusted. The strength of this argument
| has gone up a hundredfold with the discovery that Diebold counting software
| has been missing ballots for four years.
